NVDA is also great for working on machines that you don't want/can't 
install another screen reader on since it can function as a portable 
ap.  This is the thing I use it the most for, working on client 
machines.  I also find it more responsive then jaws and WindowEyes in 
some cases.

The game, anoraks.2.0.0.tgz, will be available from sunsite until somebody
responsible notices it and deletes it, and shortly from
ftp.mee.tcd.ie/pub/Brian, though they don't know that yet.
